not done stroke of work in that di-
rection.
Nuuahu street, Smiths lane. Hotel
street, and all the arteries in the
burned district which have been wild
ened, have had nothing done to them
and are, in some places, positively
dangerous. We have had a great
flourish from the present administra-
ton about what great public improve
ments were to be carried out, but the
proof of the pudding is in the eating,
and the promised improvements turn
out to be very cheap talk indeed.
OF course, the cry is "no money"
but a Government which can expend
large sums of money upon foIlies can
not hide itself under any such shield,
the subterfuge is too plain. No money
indeed, when $4,000 could be spent
on a jubilee celebration, an expendi
ture of coin which left but pile of
empty gin bottles and some rags as
memorials of the cash. No money
when that expensive toy the Kaimiloa
could be bought, fitted out and sala-
ries and uniforms supplied for gang
of loafers. No money, when $1,000
could be frittered away on a Board of
Genealogy whose sole duty consists
in drawing a salary, and which matches
up report once in two years that
affords laughter to every ne who gets
a sight of it. Why from these three
items alone enough money could have
been saved to put the whole of the
roads in and about Honolulu in per
feet repair
There never Is money for anything
useful, but there is always money
forthcoming for junketing trips, for
elgn missions and ostentatious follies.
We support q number of people in
idIeness and luxury while we have to
break the springs of our wagons, des-
troy our shoe leather and injure our
spines upon roads which would have
disgraced any civilized country a
hundred years ago.
People say there is no use in com
planning. If there is no use in COM
planning it is time then to act Let
us act, let us insist on a change. The
power of those who control affairs is
more apparent than real. Everyone
but those who are feathering their
nests out of the public purse, is dis
satisfied and Disguised. Deeds and
not words are required. Those who
are misgoverning Hawaii are as guilty
of crimes against the people as Sraf-

to answer for their crimes and there

The finances of the country are in
most unsatisfactory condition. Were
we to have the best and ablest men at
the head of affairs tomorrow, they
would have Herculean task before
them to put matters straight, and
every day things are going from bad
to worse.
Last financial year there was a very
large deficit, and the present year
must show like result. At this rate,
with none too great resources an end
must come to the spending power of
this little country. The spendthrift
heir has been cutting down the tim
Der and denuding the little estate
The cash has been fairly plentiful,
but living on ones capital can't last
forever, and one of these days there
will be no more money to get and lots
to be paid. Then there will be arush
round to raise money and the only
method will be to raise the taxes.
This is going to tell upon every in
dustry in the country, upon the re-
ceipts and expenditures of every wage
Garner.
There is depression now, but there
viii be far more depression IN the flu
bure. As we said last week what is
the good of workmen earning good
wages, if their money is eaten up by
indirect taxation. The expenditures
1f the country have increased out of
all proportion with its income. As
The revenue has been growing larger,
The country has been steadily growing
l3oorer. When Mr.. Wilder was sum
narily dismissed from the Cabinet
nearly six years ago, the treasury had
large balance and was to all intents
4 md purposes out of debt. Since then
L has been steadily declining and
now It's debt amounts to close on two
Millions of dollars. the principal of
which it will probably never pay and
The interest it Will have hard work to
crape together.
\ The longer a change is. delayed the
worse matters will be; the change will
have to be radical and made in such
hape that the present state of affairs
Ian never occur again. The whole of
he property holders and wage earners
eel this, and it only needs a spark to
Ell them in such a blaze that every
u hing must give way to their will.

The Roads, that threadbare subject,
again claims the attention of every
one. Everyone is sick of complaining
about them, and yet their condition
forces itself so unpleasantly upon pub
lie attention that it is impossible to
forget them.
Up to the present one road has been
tolerably good, but neglect will ruin
even the best of roads, and Nuuanu
Avenue, which was for a long time the
only decent bit of road about Honolulu,
has at length succumbed and is rap
idly becoming as bad as King or Be
retanla street.
We have had a new road supervisor
for some months, but he has not even
shown the proverbial energy Of the
new broom, and far from sweeping
clean, has allowed the accumulation
of dirt to continue, and has made little
effort, save in very spasmodic way,
to patch UP holes or effect any i'm
provenient.
The last Legislature voted for the
roads of Oahu alone. the sum of S134.-
900, and during the year beginning
March 31st, 1886. and ending March
31st, 1887, the Government expended
upon the roads of the 5cdole Islands
S73,S73.S6, so that it is very evident
that Oahu has had spent upon it no
thing like what 1t ought to have had
for roads. Moreover we know that

The meeting Of British residents
last Friday evening showed that the
whole British community here is in
terested in celebrating adequately the
fiftieth anniversary Of the accession
of Queen Victoria to the throne. The
appointment of a committee puts the
desires of the British residents into
definite shape, and when the commit
tee report is handed in on May 18th,
a decision as to the form of the cele-
bration can quickly be come to.
Two projects are proposed. The
first, the Victoria Fund, has for It's OBJ
ject the establishment of a permanent
fund for the support of sick British
subjects. which, when it reaches pro-
portions large enough, can be devoted
to endowing bed in the Hospital.
This is an excellent object and will
doubtless meet with support from
British residents all over the group.
The second is to provide a fund for
some public celebration, the exact
form of which viii be settled when an
IDEA can be formed Of the amount Of
money that viii be forthcoming, and
the views Of the meeting Of May 18th
have been expressed.
So great is the popularity of Queen
Victoria, not only among her own sub
jeets, but among the subjects of other
nationalities, that all viii feel graft
fed if the British residents worthily
mark an event which viii be remem-
bered as long as the history of the
Anglo-Sax race lasts. We hope,
then, that the British residents viii
respond literally to the request Of the
committee, and that the twentieth of
June, 1887, may be a marked one in
the annals of Hawaii, and that it may
long be remembered by the establish
ment of charitable fund that many
In years to come may bless.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1887-05-10

SoMErHING like twenty individuals
have within the last few weeks been
sued out of jail under writs Of ha5eas
corpus and have been set free. There IS
a fine opportunity for some enterpris
ing lawyer to take up those cases and
sue the Attorney General. the Mar
shall, the Jailor, the committing Mag
istrate and the policeman who made
each arrest, for damages for false I'M
prisonment.
The legal machinery Of the country
is certainly in very bad order when
twenty people have been wrongfully
imprisoned. Most Of the victims have
been Chinese, and as these are accus-
toned to legal oppression in their
own fowery kingdom, they do not so
much resent little legal oppression
here. But it is exceedingly lucky for
the executive and legal officials above
mentioned, that they did not happen
to lock up a citizen of the United
States. Great Britain, France or Ger
many. One case would have been
enough. They would have had more
trouble over it than even the Govern,
ment had with the Madras, and as it
involved the liberty of the subject the
avenging ALL would have ground
much more quickly.
Meantime these Chinese have sui
fered distinct wrong and perhaps
when they understand their position,
they may feel disposed to resent their
unlawful imprisonment.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1887-05-10

The charges against the members
of this Government have been very
directly made, and as they have not
been contraticted we must begin to
conclude that not only are they
founded on fact, but that they are
actually facts.
The Minister of Interior stands
charged with having Withdrawn two
sums of money from the treasury, I'm
der false pretences and the Minister
OF Finance has been in collision with
him.
A bride of a large amount has been
said to have been given to obtain the
opium license. The afidavits in the
matter have been put in the hands of
the Minister of Foreign Affairs and
he is as well acquainted with the cir
cumstances of the case as we are. The
Attorney General is also acquainted
with the matter. The reply to these
charges is that the person directly i'm
plicated says he never took the money
himself, but that it was brought to his
residence, and from there taken to
Junius Kaae's, who occupies the re-
sponsible Government post of Regis
trar of Public Conyeyances. The de
fence is only putting the Ministry on
the horns of dilemma. If the one
person did not not take the money
Mr.. Kaae did. Why then retain such
a yenal and Enthusiastically man in a
responsible Office. If he takes a bride
to influence the giving away of the
opium license, he will certainly take
bride for some other purpose; what
security has the public that he will
not take a bride for getting rid of
some important document? A page
might easily be torn out of the public
records for a consideration The facts
in this case are clear; $1,000 have
been paid over by well known Chi
nese merchant Whether Mr.. Kaae
got the bride, or whether that other
person got it, is immaterial. Some
one has had it and the Ministry are
thoroughly we'll acquainted with the
circumstance
We have here two very heavy
charges. They are not errors in judg-
ment, they are not a mere show of in
capacity, they are not neglect of duty,
to all these we are accustomed, and
have endured them with what grace we
could, They are actual crimes and
their perpetrators ought to be pun
ished as any other criminals. The
position of these wrongdoers only ag-
grayates their offence There is no
doubt in our minds that these men
ought to be working out fines in the
jail, instead of living at free quarters
at public expense.
That other guilty acts have been
committed, and that some of them
will shortly be publicly shown up is
not idle talk, but solid fact. Even
before the next Legislature meets
there will be much before the public
to let them know of a surety the utter
rottenness. and venality of the present
state of affairs.
Now, who is to blame2 These
things have not been done under a
bushel; they are plain for all to see.
With such charges against his MIN
listers and officials, the King is thor
oughly acquainted. tits in his power
to force explanations He has not
done so, and as he is the highest off
Ger in the Kingdom, the blame rests
on him. A sovereign who mad the
good of his country and his people at
heart, would see to it that such things
should not occur. a man cannot &C
cupy a high position and shirk its
responsibilities IF he does shirk
them he cannot free himself OF blame.
